 Description of the problemWhile driving the other night in rain, night and heavy traffic, i heard some flapping from the roof of the car, but could not stop because we were in a mountain pass and winding roads. I did see something like fly off of my car and cars behind me were swerving, i thought maybe a small branch. But no it was the top cap of my roof rail on the driver side. The part is $450, and when i googled it, it is definitely a known problem at ford. Hundreds of hits with the same issue
